American Honda Motor is recalling about 12,600 model year 2025-2026 Honda off-road motorcycles, including CRF250R and CRF450R series models. The handlebar's clamp can unexpectedly cause the handlebar to rotate, creating a crash hazard for the rider. These motorcycles have a red chassis and were sold at authorized Honda Powersports dealers nationwide from June 2024 through March 2026 for between $8,900 and $13,200. Honda has received one report of a crash, though no injuries have been reported so far.
The handlebar clamp can loosen or fail, allowing the handlebars to shift or rotate suddenly while the motorcycle is in motion. This loss of steering control can lead to a crash, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
Consumers should stop using the recalled off-road motorcycles immediately and contact an authorized Honda Powersports dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and if necessary, a replacement of the handlebar's clamp at the dealer's location.
The model number is found on the front of the bike in white letters; the VIN is located on the left side of the steering head.
